leave it to deever

I wonder if Schache , tmac and bbb should have been kept on. Thankfully our backline is in good shape but we need a lot more depth elsewhere.

The biggest one was a five gamer kid all of which weren't stand outs in Laurie the sub in tge qf. Goody wasn't prepared to play him all game but it happens and it exposed a very, very poor decision. Why pick a very inexperienced kid in a qf fgs?

They really are a despicable bunch. Players and supporters.

I thought Grundys tap work and efforts below his knees were very good. There is a very glaring downside to him though.....He can't mark to save himself. A very important skill for any ruckman. See ya Grundy.

Maybe him getting hurt in a very nasty footy act brings some overdue change though.

The media's orgasmic response to the filth in a granny is strange. One would think it was 57 years since their last and not a paltry 13. Watch the filth fans boo Neale today. Like it was his fault. Dirty club. Dishonest players. Filthy fans. One can only hope they lose today. A small degree of joy in that at least. Watch the umps try and spoil it though.

None as far as I can tell. Strange. The writing was on the wall. Tmac had a very average finish in season 21. 22 saw him all over the place but he wasn't right to play finals. Bbb did and was and wasn't sighted. This year it was reversed with Tmac playing finals and having no impact. Maybe the club thought Grundy would make up for them both but that didn't work. At the end of the day the club didn't really do anything to find a replacement for either of these two when problems arose over 24 months ago. Some will argue there was nobody to recruit but there must have been someone. Even if they had to look outside the league. The club got it wrong. Our fwd line failed in all four finals. Big time . And the absence and or poor performance of both of these players was a significant part of that failure.

Really could have been us playing today. An in form Melksham was a huge loss. Not playing Grundy for whatever reason didn't help. Tmac was a poor compromise and I won't talk about the incident here. Pies are an average side that were very lucky to beat us and just scraped in against the Giants who played their third interstate final in a row. After a six day break. Hmmmm. Like so many others my interest is to see pies get smashed and a certain player get a taste of his own irresponsible and very dangerous footy acts so as to stop them happening to others again. Because the afl won't stop them, someone else should.

Does anyone know how much the Afl paid kiss? Can't find it on the internet. Just curious.

An 86 year-old man is out fishing. He was sitting in his boat when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up!" He looked around and did not see any one. He thought he was dreaming until he heard the voice again. "Pick me up." The old man looked in the water and there, floating on a lilly pad was a frog. The man said, "Are you talking to me?" The frog replied, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up. Then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have me as your bride." The man looked at the frog for a minute in confusion, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front pocket. The frog screamed, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said?? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride!" He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, "Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog." Boom boom.

Do young people use the expression " not much chop?"

Since you put it like this, I see your point. I would leave it with the umpires but maybe take the extra umps of the ground they've added lately and put them in the stands. Integrity is still there but with increased objectivity. Or maybe they can review and judge the games post match via video.

It really would not surprise me. They really are a pathetic mob on the whole. On the subject of Booing, it seems on the rise, especially when players kick at goal. I don't do it. Why would you boo someone for no reason trying to play their chosen sport?

It's the Afl who are negligent IMHO.

Not a rumor but just wanted to ask what are we going to down about replacing Grundy? Can't really afford to bring in a trainee with Max getting on a bit. Also it's much more preferable to also get an established big bodied fwd or two with Tmac and Bbb futures in doubt. Fix those three problems successfully and I'm confident we will make top four again.

Can someone please explain to me which umps actually give the votes. It can't be the officiating ones surely? Aren't they too busy umpiring? Oh wait.

He was actually quite self deprecating about it.

In their day they were both champions. Bbb in last year's finals had close to no real influence and unfortunately it was Tmac following suit in this year's. Clearly their bodies are letting them down and from the last two years efforts it's hard to see either of them recapturing their previous great form. Maybe Bbb gets to play fwd again but I can't see Tmac doing it unless we can't recruit well or have another shocking run of injuries.

Currently have Mrs Deever making a Maynard voo doo doll.

Yracc had a good year but he seemed to fade away somewhat in several games at the end of this year. I thought with Daicos injured he may have been a chance but he didn't really dominate from then on.

Is Hogan contracted?

Gee 13 from 13 at the Gabba is a great record but I'm worried about their record at the ground that decides it all.

Let's just have Carlton supporters have a glimmer of hope and then snuff it out to make this win even sweeter.
